Brooders Liners

Well clean up time was a snap by using the liners in our bins, just make sure you leave enough hanging over the sides so the plastic does not get pulled backed into the bin with your little chicks. Remember you still have to use paper towels or litter so the chicks can have a frim footing.

Easy Brooder Cleanup

Well those plastic bins work great, but I dreaded weekly cleanings. While I was at Lowes I saw a roll of thin plastic drop cloths the kind painters use. 1 - 12 ft roll was under $3.00 and it goes along way. I cut squares big enough to cover the bottom of the bin and drape over the sides. I still place a couple of sheets of paper towels so the surface isnt slick. When it time for cleanups I just grab the draped ends and toss to the trash quick & easy. No more scaping and soaking the bins. I will try cheap trash bags and see how they work and what way is the most cost effective.

Hurricane Update

All is well after Hurricane Gustav, we lost power for 3 days but we had a generator to keep the incubators & brooder house running. Now we are watching Hurricane Ike!
